It touches me when she said I cannot leave public school because my childhood friends are there. She's humble and at an early age, she keeps herself on the ground. ♥🥰👍

I hope this beautiful young girl is surrounded by positive people who have her best interest at heart.The modelling industry is full of wolves in sheep's clothing and predators.

You completely missed upon the Hollywood actor who helped her, made he Instagram, managed it and has been helping her. It is incredible how well he has been able to execute it, but do not say if you dream big, because she was just a normal child who was spotted by the actor and saw the potential in her and made things happen for her that has changed her life for good. It is not like she dreamt big and got herself out of poverty because that doesn't happen, the birth circumstances and environment is the biggest hurdle in people trying to come out of it, by saying that you have insulted all those poor people who are poor because of lack of support from government and opportunities for them to come out of it, you can't just dream big and come out of it because they do have dreams and would like to but can't. She is fortunate she is beautiful and has balanced features and was spotted by the right person who out of empathy made efforts to improve her circumstances and succeeded. If you are going to be a journalist at least put out accurate information and not create lazy content.

I remember her story from around 2/3 years back & think it was an American film producer who came across her when visiting India, was taken aback by the hardship she endured along with her family & so set up a fund-raising page to help raise some monies to help her onto the road to modelling stardom. I am glad to say that I even contributed to this fund & so now so pleased to see that she is doing quite well. She seems to have her feet well-grounded too & so wish her the very best!

She told Robert Hoffmann (Step Up 2) actor and dancer that it was her dream to become a model.. Thanks to him for making it come true!

I remember the story, when she was first spotted by a foreign tourist in a slum in Mumbai. Naturally the tourist was attracted by her Grace and intelligence. She is adorable and hope she will make it big in the Model world. Govt school environment will teach the real down to earth life. How mature and modest she is?

[debbiesavage]

I hope she has people around her who really care about her and not the money.

[samanthamasters]

Appreciate her unpretentious way of seeing and carrying her success. Best wishes to this young girl.

What a beautiful girl, good for her. She doesn’t seem to be conceited or full of herself. She’s just a young girl, very down to earth and genuine.

[angie]

Hope she becomes miss India and then miss universe. She truly represents Indian woman's beauty. 💜

[monicamonica-fvth]

I hope she studies hard and set an example to other girls. Kudos to those who helped her.

Modeling at 15 seems dangerous young girls are exploited in the modeling industry I hope her parents guide her well

Maleesha is a humble girl and I love how she was raised with a single parent. She will sore as high as the sky. God is blessing her father for being there for his children without a mother for them, all by himself and did what he could for them considering their circumstances. God bless maleesha and sore as high as you can.
